Based in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina Avioq has a FDA licensed manufacturing facility and large, modern R&D laboratories. Our products include an FDA licensed HTLV-I/II assay for screening serum and plasma from blood donor and cadaveric samples, which also has CE marking and Health Canada approval. The Avioq HIV-1 assay is the only product with FDA approved claims for testing serum, plasma, dried blood spots, and oral fluid specimens. The FDA approved HIV Profile™ assay is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for confirmation and differentiation of individual antibodies directed to various gene products of HIV-1 (Group M & Group O) and HIV-2 in human serum or plasma. It is intended as an additional, more specific test to confirm the presence of antibodies in specimens repeatedly reactive in diagnostic procedures. Why work with Avioq for your next CDMO project?
